Little Boy Intro Songtext

Little Boy Intro Songtext
Alright so for these next couple of songs, the band and I
We′re gonna stand up together in front of the stage
And play kind of an acoustic stripped-down version of these songs
And this next song, um, is about when I was a little kid
I was riding my bike in my local area in Melbourne, Australia, mm
And, uh, I was, um, I was riding on the hill, and when I
When I go back now to this suburb and I look at this hill
It is the most gradual incline you've ever seen
It doesn′t really qualify as a hill, it's like
I think that's flat, and, like, it′s kinda like that
But when I was ten years old, that was the big hill
And I, I was riding my bike and I remember, like something happened
I must have swerved off, hit a rock or something
And I flew over the handlebars, and I remember flying over the handlebars
And I, then knocked myself out
And I was found by a lovely lady who took me to the hospital
And when I got there, I found out I was missing one of my front teeth
And I went to the dentist after and he gave me a replacement tooth
Um, but this, this replacement took was like a triple-XL tooth
Like this tooth was like massive, like, it′s, it's too big for adults, um
And so I have this tooth still in my mouth
And I′m 63 and I don't really, I still don′t
Haha, yeah, a tall guy, haha
And this tooth still doesn't fit quite right, um
And when I was, uh
I know this is a long story about my tooth, um
So please bear with me, um
It′s not, it's, we're getting to the last bit, um
Uh-huh, you know when people say, "Long story short"
It′s never when they say, it′s never
That's never a short story, um, anyway, but I′m
This tooth, I was at my first nightclub when I was 18 years old
And, um, my friends were pointing at me
And they're like, "Hey mate"
And they′re pointing at me
And I was like, "What's wrong? What′s wrong?"
And they're like, "The big tooth"
And I'm like, "What, what′s happening to the big tooth?"
And they′re like, "It's glowing in the dark"
So, I was very easy to find at the nightclub
You do see the tooth
It′s like a tooth, like, floating in the air, like, kind of high
I think I scared a lot of like girls away
Okay, so, obviously all of that
All of these details aren't in this song
That would be too much to put in, um
But this is the song, it′s called, "Little Boy"
We′re gonna stand up together in front of the stage
